GROUNDS CROWDED .WITH ENTHUSIASTIC PJEOPLE. Erery Body Delighted and Saying ."Hurrah for JuIejCarr" Confed erate Soldiers' Day Annual ! Meeting of Their Associa- tion The Races The Road Congress Odd v ? '. Fellows' Orphan- ' age Committee, ! Messenger Bureau, I Raleigh. Oct. 25. People in this town lived at the rate of ninety seconds to the minute to-day. The great fair overwhelmed everything else. The Supreme 1 Court justices, worked until late last evening in order that they might take holiday from 11 o'clock this jnorning. ... Judge Bynum's Superio: court also took holiday. All the depart ments in the public buildings were closed, and eo were the banks. All the : world and his wife went to the fair. The incoming trains were packed with people. This applies both to regular and excursion trains. By noon 12,000 people were on the grounds. There was ; so much to see that their eyes and ears and feet were kept busy. There were two popular expressions. One was "The best fair I ever saw in my life;" "the other "Hurrah for Jule Carr." How many times the hands of that amiable and en terprising gentleman have been shaken during the past three days no man will ever know. He has in this fair added another to his manv successes. This was Confederate soldiers' day at the Fair. Quite a number of veterans of both armies were present. The in mates of the Soldiers' Home took in the biz ehow and so did Gen.-George Meade Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. Of course all of them szw the battle of Gettysburg. The annual meeting of the State association of veterans was held this afternoon at the grand stand: Col. E. D. Hall the commander, presiding. The colonel h very feeble, and has to a large extent lost his once fine recollection of persons. Two hundred and five students and most of the faculty of Wake Forest col lege spent the day at the fair, as did also the Horner cadets from Oxford and many students from the university and various male and female colleges. There must have.been 2,000 or 3,000 pupils of various colleges and schools present. The rush to the grounds began at 9 o'clock, and the railway trains and the street cars really had more business than they cauld handle. The good order and sobriety of the crowd at the grounds and in the city were pleasant things to see. Not an arrest has yet been necessary at the grounds, and only one drunken man has been seen there. It is learned with great regret that ex Congressman. A. ; H. - A. Williams is quite sick at Oxford. He has kidney trouble. Your correspondent to-day asked a well informed colored man what he thought of the negro vote. He said the colored vote wa3 tlit all to pieces..

He spoke of the withdrawal rora the canvass of T. C. Milliken, the Republican Congressional nominee, and in his usual breezy style said he thought the Democrats ought to jump on Mr. Milliken. " This evening at the Capitol the Thirty f orth annual session or' the State Agricul tural soAety was held. Col. Julian S Carr presided, .There were' a number of addresses, these being as follows: "Green and Forage Plants," by Baron D'AUinge, of Biltmore; "Grasses;" by Professor W.F.Massey,of college of agri cultural and mechanic arts, Raleigh; "Green Manuring," by Dr. J.

For eala br Bob't B Pellamy,, ' ' COMMERCIAL NEWS. , "" Stocks and Bonds In New York Grain and Provision Markets in Chicago. New York, Oct 25. The monotony at the Stock Exchange was rudely disturbed to-day by a sudden onslaught on the anthractite coal shares. Heavy selling for both the long and 6hort accounts carried Delaware and Hudson down to 126$, 5 points; New Jersey Central 3 per cent, to 103, Lackawanna 3J to 162 and Reading to 17. The break was ascribed to rumors of an impending dissolution of the coal combination because of the heavy overproduction and the cutting of prices. So far as the disruption of the coal combination goes, it can be said the sales agents at their meeting late in the day decided to advance stove 25 cents and all other sizes 15 cents per ton for November delivery. "? The ' production, however, was ;not : restricted, as usual. and tha com parties oau miug; if bo in clined, to their full capacity." On the announcement of the advance in coal, Delaware and , Hudson rallied 2f per cent., New Jersey 2, Lackawanna If and Reading f. Late in the day Jersey Central , returned to 104 regular and 1021 seller 60. Reading to 17, Delaware and Hudson to 128 and ' Lack awanna to 164. The general list showed arising tendency and at one time ex hibited an advance of i to i per cent. The feeling was a little more confident, on account of the recommendation of the Central Traffic association that grain and provision rates be raised 5 cents per hundred, to take effect November 1st, and on the comparatively good showing made by the Pennsylvania for Septem ber and the more favorable returns for the third week of the current month re ported by some of the minor systems. Again, Sterling exchange appears to be weakening, rendering gold export less iikely this week. Rock Island was benefitted by the announcement that the . Minneapolis and St. Louis reorganization committee has turned over to it the $4,000,000 due it for equipment. Lake Shore was sold down to 133 1 early in the day and later rallied to 134 J. In the closing dealings the gen eral market was firm and the coalers a shade easier.,. Speculation left off steady. Net changes show losses of 1 to 3 per cent, in the anthracite coalers, i to f per cent, in the general list and gains of i to 1 per cent, in Western Union, St." Paul, Rock Island Louisville and Nashville, anl Missouri PacificNorthern Pacific,prc, ferred, rose 1 per cent, to 28 J. The bond market was - higher. Sales of listed stock aggregated 78,000 shares; un listed 13,000. Chicago, Oct. 24. Within a range of f c there was a quiet trade in wheat to day. Speculators found no inducement to buy and the low prices deterred them from selling. Neither bulls or bears were aggressive in their action to-day the market being permitted to take care of itself pretty much all through the ses sion. December wheat opened from 5'H to 52c, sold between 52c and 52ic, clos ing 52f to 52Jc, i to c under yesterday. Shippers were the best buyers of cash wheat j to-day. Prices were about .ic lower, with the nominal closing stronger. The trade was light and the feeling similar to wheat in the corn market to day. Local operators find no news or statistics on which to argue a rise and for that reason much prefer the selling side. -New York did moderately well as an accessory to Chicago's weakness, not only selling some corn, but informing us also of increased offerings of new Ohio corn in their markets. Mavcorn nnenprf at 49 Jc, sold between 49c and 49 to 491c, closing at 49c bid, a fraction lower than yesterday. Cash corn was ic lower during the active trading period, but closed nominally strong to-day. There was liberal selling of oats yes terday and to-day by a combination of light-waisted traders, the aggregate of whose .business is large, and the local crowd were raiding prices early in the day in order to give the syndicate as little advantage as possible. This com bination or copartnership of. many shoe string speculators has its headquarters in Pittsburg, their trade being under the co-operative plan, very much after the order of the fund "W scheme. Prices rallied some after the pressure was re moved, the close being but ic under yes terday for May. Cash oats averaged ic per bushel lower, the , closing - being hrmer. , Product was inactive and easy early, on a decline in live hogs at the, stock yards. : Later, a moderate demand dis covered a scarcity of offerings and frac tional rallies throughout the Tst took place, further than this, there was a lack of interest shown. The close was 5c higher than yesterday for January pork, and January lard and a shade higher than that day for January ribs. SOUTHERN PROSPERITY. Improvement in Financial Condition of the Railroads Much Greater Than the Average for the En tire Country. New Indus,-. trial Enterprises. -Baltimore, pet. 25. The JUanvfac turers' Record reports a continuation of the increase in earnings of the Southern railroads. Out of the seven roads in the United States showing an increase in gross earnings of over $100,000 in August, four are Southern lines. Of sixteen roads that show large decreases, not one is in the South. In the report of net earnings for the month, the South is well repre sented on the increase 6ide, while in the list of roads showing a decrease in net earnings, not a Southern line is repre- sented. The average increase . in earnings for all sections was 7.63 net per cent. , while Jhe increase in tha South was 26.81 per cent. Notwithstanding the low price of cotton, which is having a depressing influence upon :some lines of business in tne south, tne general in dustrial situation continues to improve and the demand from other sections for Southern property, especially for coloni zation purposes, continues to increase. Among the leading industrial enter -nrises reported for the week are a l2.000.000 water power company or ganized by Northern capitalists in con nection with Southern to deyelop an extensive water power in the South, a $400,000 cotton mill, large knitting mill and wood woraing piant m oriu Caro lina, a $50,000 pineapple company in Florida, and afoU,000 Hour mill, cordage factory. 410.000 warehouse company, paint works and planing mill in South Carolina.

He Testifies as to the Long Island City Contracts Ward man Cooney Denies Being GIten Money or Kissed, by Mrs. Hermann Senator Lexow's Cold Comfort to Abscond ing Parties Wanted. New York, Oct. 25. Police Commis sioner Sheehan was the star witness at to-day's session of the Lexow committee. He had been sent for this morning and had been informed that he must appear to answer the subpoena at the afternoon session. . . h IJTJhjfl morning. Wardman Ooony was called to the stand and questioned about his relations with Mrar-Hermann, the witness who was arrested in Jersey Citv ' - yesterday. He denied in detail that she had ever given him money, a gold watch or a diamond ring, or that she had kissed him. , The wardman was certain it was 60 me other Cooney who was to have re ceived the gold watch. Fifty subpoenaed witnesses were pres ent when the committee opened its ses sion. Dr. Parkhurst occupied a seat near Mr. Goff. ; Senator Lexow said he wanted it un derstood that the committee would not cease to exist next January, as was pop ularly supposed, and so the people who are Btaying out of the State to evade sub poenaslwill have to stay outside till 1896. Commissioner Sheehan appeared .after , recess and at once took the stand, but before he could be sworn Senator Cantor maue a vigorous protest against the ex amination of the commissioner, on the ground that his public duties necessi tated his appearance at police head quarters. At first Mr. Goff excused Sheehan until to-morrow morning, as tl e commissioner naa mtormed him that it was necessary for him to attend a meet ing OI the police board this afternoon. Senator Cantor asked that the exami nation of the commissioner be postponed uuui auer me eiecuon. , Mr. Goff refused this reouest. Then Sheehan said if he must anneared to-morrow he might as well be examined to-day, as he had more - important duties for to-morrow than these scheduled for this afternoon. Mr. Goff said: "Very well, the testi mony will be proceeded with at once," and then questioned the commissioner as to the location of the different station houses in his district. The commissioner's answers were eiven after some hesitation 4 and attempts' to refer to a small directory, which Mr. Goff objected to. According to Mr. Goff 's recapitulation of Sheehan's answers, the latter failed to correctly locate two of his station houses, as well as police head quarters. "Does your mind get mixed up with the streets of Buffalo and the streets of New York?" asked Mr. Goff. "No, sir," replied the commissioner. Mr. Goff then elicited from the witness the facts that he had come from Buffalo to this city about eight years ago upon me assurance mat ne would be given a public position. He denied that he had ever acted as attorney for the Gould estate or that he ropresected the Gould interest. Questioned about his law practice. Mr. Sheehan Baid the bulk was in consulta tion and that he drew a revenue from it of $4,000 to $5,000 a year. He said most of his time was epent at headquarters. ana aitnougn his partner was now in Jturope the business did not in any way interfere with his duties as police com missioner. He said he was a member of the contracting firm of John G. Sheehan & Co., composed of John O'Brien and himself. This firm was doing a business in lxng island City, the contracts of which amounted to about $500,000. After some sparring between Mr. Goff and the commis?ioner. with regard to Inspector Williams' connection with the Long Island city contracts, and his efforts to secure a commissionership, an i - . . .... aajournmeni was tasen until to-morrow. commissioner bheehan did not care about going on the stand to-morrow. He said his business af police headquarters was too pressing. Mr. Goff, however, said the business of the committee was too pressing to excuse him. An Unknown Vessel Sunk With all " on Board. Southampton, Oct. 25. The steamer Paris, from New York, which arrived last night, reports having encountered terrific weather, with mountainous seas, which swept over her deck. On the morning of October 24th at 1:30 o'clock, during the height of the storm she came into collision eighty miles from the Scilly islands with a bark or full rigged ship, the name of which it was impossible to learn. The officers of the Paris believe that the sailing vessel was cut completely in two. The Paris stood by for five hours, until daybreak, with her boats in readiness to rescue any of the crew of the unfortunate- vessel that might be seen, but saw no trace of the ship. The vessel was struck amidships, and it is thought she must have foundered imme diately, all bands on board going down with her. The lookout on board the Paris believes the sunken vessel to have been a ship of about 2.500 tons. She was not eeen until the Paris was so close to her that it was impossible to avert a col lision. The bow plates of the Paris were slightly injured, but otherwise she was not injured. Another Version. London, Oct. 25. The Lloyd's version of the collision of the Paris with an un known vessel is as follows: "At 2 o'clock on the morning of October 24th, - when eighty miles off Bishop's rock, the Paris collided with a sailing vessel, the name of which could not be ascertained, carry ing away) the latter's jibboom. The Paris immediately stopped and lay to near the spot where the accident occurred for a Quarter of an hour; The sailing vessel appeared to De heading ior .Bristol cnan nel and was lost eight of in that direc tion. The weather was thick at the time of the collision and rain was fall ing. The Paris sustained no damage. The vessels struck bows on and glanced. The Opinion is now that the unknown vessel is all right. Requisition Papers for Morganfield Signed. " Dunkirk. N. Y Oct.' 25. Requisition papers for the return to Virginia of. Morganfield, the express robber, under arrest at Cincinnati, . were signed by Governor McKinley at Ashtabula, Ohio, at 3 o'clock this morning. After the meeting at Pittsburg last night the Gov ernor left for Dunkirk, enroute to Buf falo. Telegraph communication . had meanwhile been maintained with the Ex? ecutive office in Columbus and Requisi tion Clerk Gaitree had been instructed to meet the CroyernQr at Ashtabula with the necessary documents. Mis tram ar- r7 iu3t.Bthe Dunkirk express steamed into the aepot. v. . . . 7? aroused, and, sitting up in nis uenil with Attorney General Richards for a witness, he afjlxed hia signature to' the papers. Five minutes later, Gaitree was on his "way back to Columbus and the Governor was eound asleep, V - - FROM THE SEAT OP WAR. Japan's Base of Supplies Improved- Chinese Prisoners Not Anxious to Get Back Home Clamorous for .Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 25. The fol lowing additional Japanese advices werp brought here by the steamer Empress of Japan to-day: ,Since the Japanese navy has taken possession of i the west coast of Cores1, between Ninsen and the Tadong river, the difficulty ; hitherto experienced bjp the commissariat in supplying provisions and ammunition to the Japanese in the interior portion of Corea has been re moved, and freight is now being con veyed by sea instead of by land. j The Chinese rrisoaers of war now in the Ebime prefecture (Matsayama) ex press themselves as more than delighted with tne manner of their entertainment and the quality of the rations served them. They are not, they declare, reg ular soldiers, but mere mercenaries, hav ing entered the Chinese army for the pay promised them and which, according to their contract, still runs on even when they are in captivity, and they beg their guards to request the Japanese Govern ment to see that China pays them regu larly. They want -all their back pay, their salaries, they allege, are considera bly in arrears, i They have not the faint est conception of patriotism, their whole souls being wrapped up in planning for a payment of what, rightly or wrongly. tney c;aim as tneir dues. None of them express any particular desire to hurry back to China and they seem to haye got all the fighting they want. The men are in good health and spirits, excepting the mental worry attendant upon that question of back pay. lhirty -eight guns were captured at Ping Yang. They consisted of Krupp, field and mountain pieces, Gatlings and Nordenfeldts. ! Enthusiastic contribu tions tb the war fund in Ja pan still con tinue unabated, and the Red Cress so ciety receives many contributions of ten yen a month durirjg the continuation of the war from private purses. An eye witness of the battle of Yalu says in the columns of the Japanese Mail that there seems to be little doubt that the Japanese can now walk over the course and I get where they want, whether it be ;Pekin or Moukden, or both., All they will have to provide for is the getting back again, for unless they do so this year, either place may be their .Moscow next year.' NOT AFRAID TO DIB. . I The Czar's Reception of the An nouncement of - His Condition The Czare witch's Marriage Postponed Parapherna lia of Death and of . "-Marriage. Berlin, Octf; 25. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Cologne Gazette telegraphs to-day that the Cz?x received with great courage the intior ' " i of his physicians that there waf pe of saying his life. ;.The same eci.,. .indent adds that a few days later, when he was feeling somewhat better his Majesty re marked : "It is said that a man of my years should haye to die, though, per sonally, I do not cling over-much to life. If God etui deems my life of use to my country, he will make me well." This last statement was one which was at-. tributed to the Czar after the railroad accident at Bcrki. The Czar then cave orders for the settlement of an imoor tan't question in connection with the suc cession to the throne and at the same time expressed the wish to personally bestow his blessing upon the bnde-elect and the Czarewitch. It is reoortel here that the private marriage of the Czmwitch to Princess Alix has been postponed for a short time, and that the ceremony of betrothal only may occur on Mdnday, Wednesday and- rid ay. Uuring the past hve days, it is Stated, the Czarewitch hs been author ized to sign documents in the name of Czar. . - i i London, Oct.! 24 A despatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Yalta says that the State carriages, trappings, etc., to be Used on the occasion of the marriage of the Czarewitch and Princess Alix, to gether with the regiments necessary to an adequate military display, have arrived at Livadia. It is also stated that the mourning coaches, garments of woe. etc., to bo used in the event of . the Czar's death, arrived at the same time. j London, Oct. 25. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Central News says: Several persons nave been arrested here for discussing in public places a theory that the Czar's malady is due to poison.
